HTTP API Reference

The Grafana backend exposes an HTTP API, the same API is used by the frontend to do everything from saving dashboards, creating users and updating data sources.

Authorization

Tokens

Currently you can authenticate via an API Token or via a Session cookie (acquired using regular login or oauth).

Basic Auth

If basic auth is enabled (it is enabled by default) you can authenticate your HTTP request via standard basic auth.

curl example:

?curl http://admin:admin@localhost:3000/api/org
{"id":1,"name":"Main Org."}

Create API Token

Open the sidemenu and click the organization dropdown and select the API Keys option.

You use the token in all requests in the Authorization header, like this:

Example:

GET http://your.grafana.com/api/dashboards/db/mydash HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Authorization: Bearer eyJrIjoiT0tTcG1pUlY2RnVKZTFVaDFsNFZXdE9ZWmNrMkZYbk

The Authorization header value should be Bearer <your api key>.

Dashboards

Create / Update dashboard

POST /api/dashboards/db

Creates a new dashboard or updates an existing dashboard.

Example Request for new dashboard:

POST /api/dashboards/db HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer eyJrIjoiT0tTcG1pUlY2RnVKZTFVaDFsNFZXdE9ZWmNrMkZYbk

{
  "dashboard": {
    "id": null,
    "title": "Production Overview",
    "tags": [ "templated" ],
    "timezone": "browser",
    "rows": [
      {
      }
    ],
    "schemaVersion": 6,
    "version": 0
  },
  "overwrite": false
}

JSON Body schema:

dashboard – The complete dashboard model, id = null to create a new dashboard
overwrite – Set to true if you want to overwrite existing dashboard with newer version or with same dashboard title.

Example Response:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8
Content-Length: 78

{
  "slug": "production-overview",
  "status": "success",
  "version": 1
}

Status Codes:

200 – Created
400 – Errors (invalid json, missing or invalid fields, etc)
401 – Unauthorized
412 – Precondition failed

The 412 status code is used when a newer dashboard already exists (newer, its version is greater than the version that was sent). The same status code is also used if another dashboard exists with the same title. The response body will look like this:

HTTP/1.1 412 Precondition Failed
Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8
Content-Length: 97

{
  "message": "The dashboard has been changed by someone else",
  "status": "version-mismatch"
}

In in case of title already exists the status property will be name-exists.
